If the router is using NAT, and none of the LAN devices connect using
PPOE, then the WatchGuard doesn't need PPOE either. You just assign a
single NAT IP from the Netopia to the External (Public) jack and then
make sure you also create a Trusted (LAN) side with a DIFFERENT network
subnet (so, if the Netopia gives 192.168.0.0/24, you want the LAN side
of the WG unit to do 192.168.8.0/24 and all the computers in the SBS
network should also be at 192.168.8.X/24).
> The network has 5 workstations and one SBS server on it.
You really want to change the way that your DSL connection works, you
don't want it to do NAT, you want it to run in BRIDGE mode so that your
DSL router gives you 1 (or more) PUBLIC IP addresses that you assign to
the FireBox, and then the FireBox does NAT for the internal computers.
Don't forget to disable DHCP on the Firebox and on your DSL Router, the
SBS Server should be the only DHCP service on the network.
